Société Navale Chargeurs Delmas-Vieljeux's 1958 Nantes built JEAN GUITON passing Hoek van Holland, inbound for Rotterdam to complete loading for West Africa following calls at Hamburg, Bremen and Antwerp.

What could be those vertical frames at the aft kingpost?

Beautiful photo of a well designed ship!

Hi, looks to me like an temporary exhaust / ventilation system. It was later removed as you can see on the pic of Brigina I

They look like some walkways/bridges.

Interesting construction! I have not seen anything like it before. Since you can see brackets on the mast, they belong to the ship. They really seem to be gangways. But they are much too long for gangways. However, if you imagine them folded down, they form a walkway over the hatches from the superstructure to the stern. Similar to tankers. But on a general cargo ship, the question is, what for?

Obviously part of the crew is living aft. If you bring home on every trip an aft deck full of tropical timber/logs or other things outbound it is very handy to have ready-to-apply secure walkways to put on top especially when the kitchen is midships located. It's just one possibility to explain those gangways.
In this case the crew is not living aft but an example (Homer should remember):

Looks like all deck houses are more than only temporary protected from deck cargo.

Makes sense, Manfred. When cargo is placed on hatches covers and to the side of the hatches, the gangways act as a safe bridge over the cargo. Since the gangways run a few metres above the hatches, cargo could still be placed on the hatch covers. OK!

Maybe because there was usually an emergency steering wheel / cotrol point on the aft deck house, so a fast connection between it & the superstructure was better across all kinds of cargo on decks?

Possible, but this construction would be an unusually high effort. There must have been a reason why the stern could not be reached safely any other way. Could be related to the cargo. In any case, a very unusual construction!
